The Lost Leaf

While being downtown this place was a must needed stop, not being a wine drinker or beer as well, i ventured out into the unknown. The place was literally packed from wall to wall, walking in there was nearly a game within itself. Fortunately, as soon as we got our drinks a couple left and we were able to sit inside a hidden cubby.  I enjoyed the atmosphere, live band, great patio, and art on the walls.

Definitely not a place to walk in with a pair of red bottom stilettos, this place is very "hip"... Nice place to hang out and relax.

Being so close to this place I couldn't pass up checking it out.  It is on a street that looks like it could be only residential homes so it can be easily missed.  However, this is one place you don't want to drive by without stopping in!  

They had a live band and place was crowded from wall to wall.  We got lucky and a group left from the room facing the street.  The art that flooded the place were all local artists which made it that much better.  It is definitely a "hip" bar so don't walk in with your heels on lady..things could get weird. =)  The bar is SUPER tiny with only 2-3 stools and two bar tenders avoiding stepping on each other with each filled order.  

They don't serve hard liquor here so it will be wine or beer....which is A-OK with  me!  They have a fairly decent wine selection so you won't feel too limited.  I didn't pay a whole lot of attention to the band.  To be honest, I think I was 3 glasses of wine by this time. :-p

The patio outside was pretty cool, it was like someone's backyard.  I love the character of this bar it's much different than anything offered in Scottsdale.  Great experience !   I'm looking forward to going back on First Friday.

This is a great place to drink, chill and listen to live music downtown. The beer selection is superb and rare and there is usually a "deal of the day" or three. Sometimes it can be packed or difficult to get a drink as there is only one line, especially on First Friday. I love seeing (and playing) live music there, though the viewing place is small and gets crowed fast. It is in an old converted house which adds to the appeal of the venue.
